Chapter 014 Rouge Error 3

Li Jiancheng pulled me into the cabin. The lights inside are bright and bright, and even more spacious. There is a cold couch on the top of the boathouse and a curtain from below. There is a square chessboard in the middle of the boathouse, with two black and white chess pieces on each side.

Li Jiancheng stood by the chessboard and asked me, "Can you play chess?"

Before entering the palace, I saw others play chess, but I didn't know how to. I shook my head in shame. He lowered his head and smiled, pulled me to the front of the chessboard and sat down. He sat opposite me and pinched a white chess piece. How can I teach you?" He said.

I thought for a moment: "It's better for the prince to teach in person."

Li Jiancheng said with a smile, "I thought you were going to say that rejection again."

"I dare not."

"Look, here we go again." Li Jiancheng looked at me with a smile and asked, "Women's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are indispensable. Which one are you good at?"

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? I only remember that these hands have only taken care of medicinal herbs and never touched those elegant ones. And Li Jiancheng said that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were indispensable for women, and he couldn't help whispering his head: "I can't do it."

This obviously shocked Li Jiancheng. He stiffened his smile and immediately smiled: "In this case, I will teach it the same way." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked up and added, "Don't dare to say!"

I couldn't help laughing at him, and I nodded. Li Jiancheng smiled when he saw me, and his eyes flashed with excitement. With a bright smile on his face, he stroked the chessboard and slowly introduced: "There are three hundred and sixty-one intersections on the board. The victory or defeat of a chess game is determined by the number of intersections occupied by the two sides. More precisely, it is determined by the size of the area occupied by the live chess of both sides. A crossover is a son, and each party takes 180 and a half sons as the original number. Those who exceed this number are winners, and those who are less than this number are negative.

I drew a black chess line along his slender fingers, and I looked carefully, listened and remembered.

"The chess pieces rely on 'qi' to survive on the chessboard. If you want to learn how to eat them, you must first understand 'qi'." Qi refers to the empty intersection close to the chess pieces on the chessboard. On the premise that you have a certain understanding of the chess pieces, you can learn how to 'eat chess'.

He took a few chess pieces and put them away and pointed out the "qi" for me. I looked at it for a while and understood something.

"'Eatzi' can also be called 'ti zi'. One side tightly surrounds one or more pieces of the other party, so that all its air numbers are blocked, that is, all its closely adjacent intersections are occupied. Then remove the airless chess pieces from the chessboard, which is called 'eating pieces'. Chess pieces without 'qi' have no vitality and are not allowed to exist on the chessboard. Once the chess pieces on the chessboard are in a state of no gas, they can be removed.

He put the white on the chessboard and saw a circle of white tightly surrounded the three blacks. He took the three blacks from the chessboard and looked at me. With him being so practical, I understand most of it, but I really want to make the next game in person.

Li Jiancheng stroked his hand and asked me: "Bai Zi, go first."

I took Baizi from the side and played the first game of chess in my palace. Li Jiancheng played chess and didn't stop talking. He continued to explain to me the mysteries of chess.

"Eye" refers to one or more empty intersections surrounded by multiple pieces. A piece of chess connected by multiple pieces can be called 'living chess' if it has two eyes. 'living chess' is a chess that can never be removed.

"Sometimes, the 'eye' of a piece of chess is very big. As long as you put a piece in a place in the 'big eye', you can turn the chess into two eyes. Even if you ignore it, your life will not be in danger."

Li Jiancheng must have given way to me, otherwise how could I have played a game of chess for so long? After playing a few games, I gradually became more familiar with it. In the fifth set, I thought very carefully and played every step carefully.

"Good! Double life!"

Li Jiancheng suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I don't expect that at this time, you will learn to be exquisite." I don't know what "double life" is in chess, and it's inexplicable by what he said. He realized and immediately explained to me: "In live chess, there is a special situation called 'double living', also known as 'living together' and 'public living'. The chess pieces of both sides do not have two eyes, forming a situation where they can't kill each other. Both sides are live chess, which is called 'double living'."

I nodded knowingly, took the chess pieces and continued to play with him.

The boathouse is very quiet, with only the sound of chess pieces. I clicked a white one: "The prince gave way to me again."

I won this game, exactly Li Jiancheng took me to win. I reached out and took away the black son eaten by Baizi. Li Jiancheng leaned over from the opposite plate and grabbed my hand holding the black son. He looked deeply and said, "You are the white man who has completely hollowed me out."

"Prince..." I looked at him in surprise.

He stretched out his forefinger and pointed it on my lips: "Let me build it. Xiran, I also want to be the ultimate winner, always surrounding you and protecting you, and I am the only one around you.

Playing chess is a confrontation of thought. I speculed about him, he speculed about mine, and I was able to speculge it just now. It was his murder with entangled softness. I looked at him and didn't know what to do. My hand was held in the palm of his hand, and the warmth surrounded my whole palm. The so-called ten fingers connected my heart. My heart gradually calmed down and the warmth spread, but I suddenly panicked because of the warmth. At this time, a sound outside the boat window made me cold from my hair to my toes.

"Who is so elegant, boating on the pool on the moonlit night?" It's Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng looked out of the window covered with a veil. I took the opportunity to withdraw my hand and immediately got up and lifted the veil of the boat window. It was Li Shimin and Li Yuanji standing outside. Li Jiancheng smiled at them from the window: "Come on, play chess with me!"

I didn't dare to look at the two people outside, and I was even more nervous when I heard Li Jiancheng's words. After a while, the hull obviously shook, and then the curtain was lifted by one hand and two people came in. Li Yuanji came in to see me and said in surprise, "Why are you a little maid of honor again? You must pester my eldest brother!"

"Yuanji!" Li Jiancheng said with a heavy face, "Can't I find someone to talk to?"

"How happy is the conversation?" Li Yuanji stared back at me again. His eyes seemed to penetrate me. There was a trace of surprise and disdain in his eyes.

Compared with Li Yuanji's surprise, Li Shimin just smiled, stepped to sit opposite Li Jiancheng, took the chess pieces in one hand and said, "Brother, I'll compete with you!"

Li Jiancheng also took the chess pieces and said, "Recently, your two brothers are very tight. I don't know if there is anything good to hide from me?"

Li Shimin played a chess piece, looked up and smiled, "A girl that Yuanji liked happened to have some contact with my wife, so he stuck to me for beauty!"

Li Jiancheng smiled and shook his head. Li Yuanji was anxious and shouted to Li Shimin, "Second brother, do you want to help?"

Li Shimin said while playing chess: "You can't force emotional things. If you really like it, you should let her choose. Otherwise, they will never be willing." He looked up at Li Jiancheng, "Just like the eldest brother, we talked happily, and most of them were successful!" Otherwise, how can two people be alone?

Li Yuanji listened and wandered a few times in front of me. He turned his head and said to Li Jiancheng, "Brother, I don't want such a low-status girl to be a side sister-in-law!"

Li Jiancheng was furious: "Yuanji, have you said enough!"

Li Jiancheng pulled me in front of them. I knelt on the ground and was about to open my mouth, but I was blocked back by his words: "So what if we have a good talk? However, Shimin said it wrong, and Xiran hasn't promised me yet. But one day I will let her agree!"

Li Shimin clapped his hands and cheered, but pointed to Bai Zi on the chessboard: "Brother, you lost."

Li Jiancheng looked at the chessboard and said, "Shimin's chess skills are really better!"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "No, it's the eldest brother's absent-mindedness that I won by this. However, the eldest brother promised that if I can beat you again, I will give me your most precious one. I don't know if it counts?

Li Jiancheng said, "Why is that difficult? Tomorrow, I will ask someone to send the cloud agate to you.

"Thank you, brother!" Li Shimin got up and straightened his robe and walked off the chess platform with a happy face. "Then the eldest brother will continue to talk. I'll go back first."

Li Shimin turned around and left. The rest of Li Yuanji looked at me and also walked out of the boat door. The hull shook again, and it should be that Li Shimin and Li Yuanji had landed.

The yellow light in the ship is still the same, but it feels empty. I looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, which was the chess game he set before he left.

Li Jiancheng leaned over and hugged me and said in my ear, "Actually, you are the most precious!"

I pulled out his arms and kowtowed to him: "Prince, I want to go back to the pharmacy."

Li Jiancheng said, "I'll teach you tomorrow."

I shook my head: "No. I don't want to learn anymore." This chess is an unbreakable hidden mystery. I don't want to be a layperson, let alone a chess piece. If I insist on this chess game, I only hope that I am the cold chessboard, who can see through all the mysteries, but not be in it.

Li Jiancheng looked at me with extremely lonely eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Go."

The moonlight cast in the clouds is loneliness and tranquility. I got out of the boat and slowly walked back to the road of the Shang Pharmacy. It was dark, and I saw the maid eunuch patrolling in the distance passing through the porch with lanterns. I'm afraid of the dark, and I'm more afraid of the unprovoked cool breeze in the night. I speed up my pace and want to go back to the pharmacy as soon as possible.

I just looked down and walked. I didn't care that someone suddenly jumped out in front of me. I bumped into the man's chest and felt dizzy with pain. At this time, the man said, "Why don't you stay much?"

It turned out to be Li Shimin. I looked up next to him, but Li Yuanji disappeared. I blessed him, but he held me in one hand and said, "How can I bear it!"

I was stunned and knelt down: "Your Highness the King of Qin's words really made me a slave."

Li Shimin sneered behind my back and glanced down and said, "What are you talking about? The prince's good talk is often a great deal. Why do you have to be modest?"

"The maidservant..." I shook my head and whispered, "The maidservant can't afford to climb high."
